More quotes by William Gibson
I think that the collectible ephemera craze/awareness is probably driven by a reverse market, rebounding off the sense of everything being mass-produced. It's the last step you take in trying to find something unique.
William Gibson
His teeth sang in their individual sockets like tuning forks, each one pitch-perfect and clear as ethanol.
William Gibson
A book exists at the intersection of the author's subconscious and the reader's response.
William Gibson
I'm a reluctant writer of non-fiction, in part because I don't really feel qualified.
William Gibson
Things aren't different. Things are things.
William Gibson
When I began to write fiction that I knew would be published as science fiction, [and] part of what I brought to it was the critical knowledge that science fiction was always about the period in which it was written.
William Gibson
I feel like I've been very fortunate in that I've stuck like a burr to the dog-leg of the next generation of nerdism. I've been carried into the XXIth century on Bill Gates' pants-cuff.

William Gibson
I only go to Japan when there's someone who can afford to bring me there, and consequently I may never go again!
William Gibson
The most common human act that writing a novel resembles is lying. The working novelist lies daily, very complexly, and at great length.
William Gibson
Somewhere, deep within her, surfaces a tiny clockwork submarine. There are times when you can only take the next step. And then another.
William Gibson
We're living in a future that's weirder than anybody except possibly.
William Gibson
I guess Twitter is the first thing that has been attractive to me as social media. I never felt the least draw to Facebook or MySpace. I've been involved anonymously in some tiny listservs, mainly in my ceaseless quest for random novelty, and sometimes while doing something that more closely resembles research.
William Gibson
The future is not Google-able.
William Gibson
The construct of William Gibson the Writer is coming down, and become more open. It's more of a Glasnost - Transparency! Transparency is what it is.
William Gibson
I'm embarrassed if I think anyone knows exactly what I paid for something, or even where I got it. I want what I'm wearing to feel good on, wear well, and to be extremely functional.
William Gibson
I'm not a very intentional writer. I try to be as unintentional as possible. What I basically try to do is invite the zeitgeist in to tea.
